Page.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated return always false in safari

Question

I am using DotNetOpenId and Asp.NET MVC. I have the following problem:

When using IE not problem I can login and when I check the Page.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated I get true. If I test this in Safari for Windows the Page.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated is false. If I use Safari in Mac I can Login without a problem.

Any Idea? What Other Info can I give you so you can Help me?

Thanks

Answer 1

With the release of Safari 4, all started to work.

You are logging into your web site using Safari, right? I can't tell from your question whether you expect to be able to log in using IE and then switch to Safari and still be logged in. But that's certainly not possible.

Can you tell me more about what happens when you're using Safari? Does the login appear to finish but then it still behaves like you're not logged in.

I had a similar problem to this a while back. It turned out that the cookie I was setting capitalized the first letter of the domain when set and the javascript we were using was looking for all lower case. This worked fine on every browser but one... Safari for Windows treated Example.com and example.com as two different domains and saw the cookie request as a cross-domain and blocked it.
